Ms. Parri describes the works of her newest show, “Art is food for the soul, for the artist as well as the viewer.” No boundaries or limitations were preconceived to force the nature of the work in this collection; Most of the work can be described as meditative. Ms. Parri feels while creating this work, she escaped “the chaos of life” and found solace and strength in the abstract.

Ms. Parri will also be introducing an emotionally charged limited-edition giclee, “Parallel Dementia”, what she describes as a visual vortex of the 4 th dimension. This is a hand-signed and numbered lithograph from an original Parri mixed media piece she created in the days following September 11 th.

"Looking at her paintings, many interesting things happen.  Shapes that were hidden or obscure start to emerge.She lays down many layers of paint rather than looking muddy or thick, they imbue a deep fresh quality with vibrant colors and rich textures. -Wonderful patina's and rich deep hues."

Viewing Parri's work Lee noted,  Using a mix of iridescents, gold leaf, and metallic paints Parri finds balance and serenity through reflective light and textures."    - "Paintings that beg to be seen in person."
